Firestone Coil-Rite Air Spring Basics
Firestone Coil-Rite springs fit inside your existing rear coil springs to maximize the effectiveness of your suspension system. The added cushion provided by the air springs allows your vehicle to better handle a heavy load or trailer. Hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer can make the rear of your vehicle sag and the front end rise. This puts more strain on your rear axle and reduces contact between your front tires and the road, causing problems with braking, steering control and traction. By adding air springs to your rear suspension, you can help to level your vehicle for more effective braking and handling under heavy loading or when you encounter adverse road conditions. The air springs also help to level your headlight beams and reduce wear on your tires.
Adjustable Air Pressure
The air pressure in your Coil-Rite springs can be adjusted manually, side to side, to compensate for off-center loads. A centered load improves the stability of your vehicle by reducing body roll. The air springs will also help to absorb road shock and soften contact between your axle and frame. This prevents bottoming out, thus improving ride comfort. Route the air line tubing for the springs to your vehicle's bumper to provide easy access to the manual inflation valves.
Air Spring Construction
Coil-Rite springs are constructed of durable, elastic polyurethane to ensure years of service. Single replacement springs (sold separately) are available for maintenance to an existing Coil-Rite kit.
Air Spring Installation
The Coil-Rite springs install inside your existing coil springs. The custom-fit springs attach to your vehicle's spring seats.

2008 ChevroletTrailBlazer
The installation video is not accurate for a 2008 Trailblazer. It was much more involved and required removal of the coil springs to do theinstall.
by: Sam08/03/2022
I added these to my Trailblazer ext after I lowered it 2/4. I pull a 25ft pontoon and a heavy duty equipment trailer that weighs 2500lb empty and I've never rubbed and it keeps the bounce to a minimum. Installation was easy.

These bags made a night and day difference when towing our 26 foot travel trailer. I definitely recommend this product to anyone towing a trailer with a heavy tongue weight

2003 GMC Yukon
The air bagsy fit nicely into the coil springs so there are really no modifications needed to install them. The exhaust shields are easily shaped to fit onto the tail pipe where it wraps over the axle.
The only hic- up I had was the installation instructions did not include a diagram of the hose routing for my vehicle, which tells you to mount the bags with air line out the top or out the bottom. I found there was more room out the top and a shorter route for the air lines to be ran.

Tim, Firestone does not include instructions on howwhere to run the lines as so many people want or need to locate them differently, even on the same vehicle.Some like the fittings mounted through the bumper for easy access, others like them hidden underneath, and others still need to run them forward to a remotely controlled air compressor under the vehicle.

I have a 2011 Avalanche and it became evident towing our 24' Trail Runner (6000lbs) that not only would I need the double sway system on the hitch but the Avalanche also needed more stability in the rear end. I purchased 'Firestone Coil-Rite Air Suspension' bags as an inexpensive way of meeting the demands of towing, and true to the advertisements, descriptions, and video, the Avalanche holds the road with little roll or recoil from the diverse conditions we have encountered over a distance so far of 12,000 miles (20,000kms). I run the bags at 20psi (max is 30psi) with and without the trailer. I left the installation of the bags to my mechanic and he was quite impressed with the simplicity and effectiveness of the system. Many thanks!

Great product had them installed less than two hours after receiving them
by: Lad06/09/2021
Work great, totally stiffened up my rear suspension. I bought these for a 2007 Tahoe LTZ. Rear was sagging when towing a grey wolf 23dbr trailer. Also combined these with the sumosprings(from etrailer) and a 1 inch lift(purchased elsewhere). Together this was everything I needed to eliminate the sag. Thanks etrailer!!

2000 Chevrolet Tahoe
Having had them on for a year now...Excellent! I was skeptical because of the cheap price as I am used to the higher quality rubber/metal frame units but they have done the light duty job I bought them for.
Installation was challenging in order to squeeze them through the coils but it is do-able. I mounted these inside of a 2000 Tahoe.
I mounted the bags with the air line to the top and ziptied the lines along the wiring conduit. Valves were installed in the rear bumper next to the plate which is perfect because at night time they are illuminated by the plate lights.
I run 20lbs at all times.
One thing I would recommend is buying an airline T and using only one air line for fill/deflate. Two is a pain. I used to have one on my old set up and it was far easier. The T collects both lines behind the bumper.
Enjoy.

2010 GMC Yukon
Leveled out my Yukon. Good for long hauls. Keep pressure. I check them before every haul and have not had to add air. I deflated them down to 10 psi over the winter since I only use my truck to tow a camper. The ride was similar to the original but with less body roll. They are well worth the money and take little effort to install. I would recommend coupling these with a higher load rated tire as well. I put on some Kumho AT's that were a bit grippy and load range E. It rides like a 3/4 truck when I have everything inflated and like my wife's luxury SUV again when I let some of the air out. Great combination.

Worked as advertised
by: John12/07/2020
Used on my wifeys 2013 suburban for a loaded cross country trip with a full cargo area and loaded hitch rack, lifted the back end back to normal ride height, and unloaded provided a “cushier” ride.

2009 Chevrolet Avalanche
The directions are set up to cover a wide variety of vehicles. There are pages inserted for adjustments to the instructions for a smaller group of vehicles closely related to mine. I still found them confusing and not very clear. Once I got past trying to do exactly what the instructions (or at least the pictures) were saying, I was able to just look at my setup and install the air springs. The picture for the inserted heat shield instructions was the most confusing because it shows the air hose on the top but for my Avalanche (and I believe most late GM SUVs) the air hose is on the bottom. On the positive side the product appears to be of strong construction for the springs, hose, and the fittings. I'm confident it will greatly improve my Avalanche's ability to tow my trailer safely
by: Robert05/09/2016
2006 Chevrolet Avalanche
Very happy with this product. Easy installation. Air bags do not effect day to day driving even at max pressure since they are not as tall as the Spring it is inside, but are very effective once the weight has been added to make for safer handling.

2014 Cadillac Escalade
I installed these on my 2014 Cadillac Escalade ESV. I pull a 29’ enclosed snowmobile trailer with a 7,000# rating. These help tremendously with sag and sway and make life safer and easier when trailering, particularly when dealing with a crosswind. Installation is a little bit of a knuckle-buster but can be done easily at home.
by: Steve05/09/2016
2009 Chevrolet Suburban
Good product with a relative ease of installation with the right tools. Only improvement would be to add a Tee in to the air line so there is only one needle valve for adding air in to the system.
by: Michael 04/18/2021
Easy install, great product, great ride. Great lift when needed

- How do You Install Air Springs on a 2002 Chevrolet TrailblazerFirestone offers a kit for a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer 2WD, part # F4108. The air springs fit inside the coil springs and can be inflated or deflated depending on load. I have provided a link below to the instructions that come with the kit and walk through the installation. You would jack the Trailblazer until all the weight is off the rear axle and the rear suspension is fully extended. From here you can put the Air Helper Springs inside the coil springs. If more room is needed, the...

If your Caddy has the auto-leveling you'll need to go with the Firestone. There isn't a lot to separate the two. They install the same and have the same purpose and ratings. Firestone does have the brand recognition. You really can't go wrong either way.

For that the air bag system par # F4108 will give you the flexibility in support to allow you to tailor the amount of support you would need. The sag is related to the ride quality everyone wants now. Stiff suspension rides rough and nobody wants to deal with that any more. So the soft suspension allows the ride quality to be great but at...

I just recently installed these on a Chevy Avalanche (Same Coil Springs) if you would like to take a look.

Compare that to the maximum 1,000 pound capacity of the Firestone Vehicle Suspension, # F4108. Both systems will offer similar benefits including helping to keep loads level, improved steering and balance, a better ride, and will prevent the vehicle from bottoming out. The Firestone system can be leveled side to side...

You can add the Tee to your order so that you will be able to have your air helper springs share the same single Schrader valve fill.
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement for a 2003 Chevy Tahoe with Auto Level Rear SuspensionI recommend installing a set of Timbren springs for added support. They will provide the support you need without having to run air lines and fill up or deflate air bags. Please keep in mind that adding Timbren springs or any suspension enhancement product may not stop the auto-leveling motor from running, but there is a very good chance that it will. If you have a 4-wheel drive model use # TGMRG25C. For a 2-Wheel drive model use # TGMRYS4. Be sure to check your vehicle owners manual to...
view full answer... - How to Reduce Sag on 2018 Chevy Suburban Premier with Weight Distribution System Already InstalledIf you are still getting a lot of rear sag on your 2018 Chevy Suburban Premier when hooked up to your trailer the first thing I recommend doing is simply checking to make sure your existing weight distribution is both properly rated and correctly adjusted. It is important that your setup's total tongue weight, which includes the loaded weight of the trailer along with any additional cargo weight coming from behind the rear axle of the Suburban, falls comfortably within the system's operating...

There are not spacers available that would work either. But I do have a solution for you. You could use Timbren springs # TGMRG25C for a 1500 or # TGMRSB4S for a 2500. Then you would need 8 of the 1 inch spacers, # A25723-90AH00, 4 for each side. Timbren does not recommend using any more spacers than that so there will still be a little travel before...

Other than that they are the same product. Air Helper Springs, like The Firestone Ride-Rite # F4108, will help control sway on rough terrain, but the main purpose of air helper springs is to keep your vehicle level when hauling heavy loads and level off-center loads. Since you already have a weight distribution system with sway control and feel like you need more...
view full answer... - Rear Suspension Enhancement for 2003 Chevy Tahoe to Reduce Sag When TowingWe have suspension enhancement that will help beef up the rear suspension of your 2003 Chevy Tahoe but nothing will give you more towing capacity than you have so you'll want to make sure you don't exceed your towing capacity.

The reason you are still experiencing sag with a weight distribution system is solely because of how ineffective that system is. The chains they use instead of spring bars just doesn't work as well. Your best solution is going to be to go to a more effective system like the Reese kit part # RP66541 which will easily allow your Suburban to sit level. Suspension enhancement like the Coil Rite kit part # F4108 will...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2007 GMC YukonIt sounds like you are actually looking for a rear suspension enhancement setup for your 2007 GMC Yukon. The part # F9000 is just a replacement part for a system that isn't designed for your vehicle. Because of that I would not recommend it for you regardless of it's dimensions. Instead you would want the Firestone Coil Rite kit part # F4108 as it has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and comes with all of the necessary hardware.

It will also be compatible with your auto-leveling system. Also, the Timbren suspension will offer progressive resistance, meaning they won't change the ride until you load up weight. The weight capacity is 6,000 pounds but don't exceed your Chevy Avalanche's weight carrying capacity. Keep in mind that adding any suspension...

They did not have any compatibility information regarding the Firestone # F4108 but as those are for the OE springs they are going to be shorter than the Air Lift which is known to fit. I do not see Firestone having bags that will be as tall as the Air Lift.
